The fanged one scrawls:

>>>>"it would be more appropriate to express your paganness through other 
organizations"
 
take a step back and look at that sentence and what it convey's to a 
new-comer looking for a place in the SCA. <<<<

Very true! The SCA is much more friendly to Pagans that phrase would suggest. It also does, however, have a few people who are more than slightly intolorant regarding "alternative" religions. (Although a whole LOT less then the "mundane" world)

 >>>>if there is room for christians / moslems / buddhists / ... to
explore the historical side of their nature, there is plenty of room
.. in fact there *must* be room for the pagan types to do the same<<<<  

Indeed! However (not to put words in the very-capable-of-expressing-her-own- opinion Lorraine's mouth), although many of us are pagan, the SCA is not a Pagan organization, and if she's looking primarily for Pagan contacts, she should look at any number of organizations/ festivals that focus on that aspect...There's a big difference between someone who happens to be pagan and is interested in recreating history, and someone who is Pagan and interested in pagan contacts. The first would fit in and have a great time. The second would be sorely disappointed, especially if they assumed everyone in the SCA was pagan.
